Startup 5.2.2 Analog audio input/link connectors IN (A1 - A4) A 3-pin Euroblock connector (male) is provided for each analog input to accept the supplied 3-pin Euroblock connector (female). To feed (link) the input signal on to the next device in the signal chain, the connector can also be used as a cable tap.
Startup 5.2.4 OUTPUTS WARNING! Potential risk of electric shock or fire. Risk of electric shock The amplifier output pins can carry dangerous voltages. ▪ Only use isolated loudspeaker cables with correctly fitted connectors. ▪ Never connect an amplifier output pin to any other input or output connector pin or protective earth (ground).
Startup 5.2.5 GPI/DC (Hardware description) Up to four GPI pins [5] (General Purpose Input) together with a onboard DC supply (12 V D C, 50 mA) are available as additional digital control lines. Each GPI provides either level (Hi/Lo active - non-latching) or edge (rising/falling - latching) triggering.
Startup 5.3 Controls and indicators 5.3.1 Mains power switch The on/off rocker switch [7] is located on the left of the rear panel. Mains isolation is not provided. The internal power supplies are off but stay connected to the mains. The unit is switched on and ready for operation.
Startup 5.3.3 Status indicators (LEDs) On the bottom left of the front panel the following status LEDs are provided: POWER Green: Indicates two states: ▪ Permanent: Power on. ▪ Flashing ( ): Standby. DATA Yellow: Indicates two states: ▪ Permanent: A network cable is connected to one of the ETHERNET (RJ 45) sockets of the device.
